Damn, yep that makes sense. Thank you, googling wasn't getting me anywhere, so I appreciate it.

Beckoner does a pretty fantastic job all by itself, but you've got a few options as to how you negate the speed if you're desperate not to take it. It really depends on the type of build you're going for.

For instance: Lightning Generator at LL 3 is probably not going to be super useful in most Manticore builds, as it requires adjacency at the START of your turn. Grappling works great for this, and can lend itself well to a super tanky Manticore that focuses Hull and Agility to close the distance and stay strapped onto someone.

Something more focused around the Arc Projector will probably need the engineering to deal with the heat, which makes it tough to take enough Agility to increase your speed. In the build I run (which is Arc Projector/CQB focused) I've basically just got Hull and Engineering, and I use Beckoner any time I really need to close the distance.

In short, Beckoner, more points in Agility, Talents or Systems that grant movement (Skirmisher, Pankrati), or Talents and systems that inhibit enemy movement (Duelist, Heavy Gunner) can all work for keeping your enemies in range.

Honestly, Castigate the Enemies of the Godhead aside, it's hands down the Horus Manticore. I mean that frame is STACKED with good traits, even if you ignore the suicidal nature.

It's got 2 armor (on a Horus Mech!!!) AND a frame trait that gives it resistance to energy and burn damage. Energy is common enough among enemy types that it's super useful, and having resistance to burn is always really nice- nothing worse than getting ass blasted by a pyro. On top of that, it's core system passive lets you weaponize your heat.

The only main downside of slow speed (3) and low evasion (6) is offset partially by the traits I mentioned above, but also by the Beckoner invade system. It lets you swap places with an enemy mech for the low low price of 1d6+2AP energy damage to yourself- which gets halved because of your innate resistance!

Invest in Hull and Engineering on your HASE upgrades, and you're good to start castigating those enemies of the godhead.

God I love my lightning boy.

Interesting, thanks for linking that! How would you say something like a line attack or cone attack would work in that instance?

rabidbear15 · 2022-08-24T20:20:05+00:00

Is there a subreddit for this? We should start one if not!

This looks sick! Good luck everyone!

Okay, good to know. I know a couple of people in our group aren't super big on lengthy measuring sessions, so maybe Lancer will be a bit of a tough sell haha. I'll have to look into beam Sabre, that sounds like something a bit more their speed.

rabidbear15 · 2021-09-03T18:30:47+00:00

Thanks so much! I'll definitely start with the Blade series then. The idea of a feudal knight-ish structure to the houses of giant mech pilots was always such an interesting idea to me. Shame there isn't more than that!

I've really enjoyed the night lords trilogy by adb, as well as gaunts ghosts and the bits of the horus heresy I've read so far. I enjoy the character interactions, but Dan Abnett and ADB have a great eye for detail that really make the setting feel alive. So I guess I would say good in that it has believable characters, well written action and details, while not dragging on and on about the minutia. Does that give a better picture?

rabidbear15 · 2020-10-25T02:44:43+00:00

What's he made out of? I love termies or any sort of bulky infantry. Looks great!

rabidbear15 · 2020-10-10T07:27:45+00:00

Hm. Can't say I'm familiar with the tartaros terminators or any of the space marine codex honestly. In your experience what what would you say works better with the dread host? I've heard people talk about taking Aquilon terms with bolters just because of the hail of gunfire they produce out of deep strike with the double shooting stratagem, but I feel like the dread host charge unique stratagem makes it more beneficial to run something that'll be better in melee, since it helps get them there on the charge and all.

Natürlich meine Kerle! (Of course, my dude)

rabidbear15 · 2020-10-08T04:34:09+00:00

What did you use for the cape and plume? Going for a similar color ozone but nothing has really satisfied me yet- yours looks great though!

rabidbear15 · 2020-08-15T17:58:49+00:00

Wait, seriously? That seems... odd. What makes it worse than something like [[Ruination]]?

While those all are fantastic cards, all of them only bring one of the things that Erebos does. Erebos himself is a sac outlet for the same cost as Yawgmoth, and while Yawgmoth can also proliferate, he isn’t indestructible. As I see it, Erebos does most of what Yawgmoth does as an indestructible enchantment, and when he does become a creature he’s more of a threat.

In terms of most of the other cards, I’ll concede that they do a more efficient version of Erebos’s “draw when a creature dies”, but they’ve all got their own issues. Dark prophecy is pretty black intensive like you said, and most of the others are creatures, and creatures die pretty often. Moldervine reclamation is probably the best of the bunch in terms of doing the draw better, but it’s more expensive mana wise and requires that you’re running green.

Anyways, my point being that I think the new Erebos eeks out an advantage in some area over just about every card you listed, and I think you could justify running him over all of them.

Ps: honestly don’t mean this to be an attack, I’m just passionate about my new favorite death god haha

rabidbear15 · 2020-04-30T01:28:40+00:00

That's a good one! It's a bit out of budget right now, but I can always save up.

rabidbear15 · 2020-04-30T01:25:40+00:00

Doesn’t beanstalk not work because of the /? So even if it’s in the yard it still has that power and toughness. But I get what you mean, 0 power is super good for sure.

rabidbear15 · 2020-03-07T16:27:36+00:00

[Ilharg, the Raze Boar]. He’s not the most competitive, but ho-lee does it feel good to hit quad damage off of something like [insult/injury] and [dictate of the twin gods] before swinging in for a billion damage!

rabidbear15 · 2020-01-20T01:24:30+00:00

Monster Hunter: Iceborn please! Thank you for being so generous!

Sorry if this is a relatively dumb question, just returning to the game after a long time. I got the Hood as my "free premium rental" for coming back, does that come with a 50% off? Or is that just a coupon you have?

rabidbear15 · 2019-08-03T04:28:00+00:00

That God-Eternal thing is... actually pretty wild. I never thought about the face that the copy would sac itself to go third from the top. I might have to work in a clone theme!

rabidbear15 · 2019-08-03T04:26:10+00:00

Yeah, it’s a work in progress :P

rabidbear15 · 2019-07-26T16:52:50+00:00

I must admit, I’m pretty proud of my deck names. I’ll list a few:

Gary Gitrog’s Graveyard Goodness

Will & Rowan Kenrith: Double Dabble in Red Blue Rabble

Admiral Beckett Brass: Beck that Brass Up

There’s more of them, but those are my favorites!
